This paper aims to analyze some details related to the Thomism history of the analogy and specifically to analyze its Aristotelic origin. The paper treats as relative the importance of some philological arguments related to the existence of a historical profound discontinuity in the understanding of analogy between Aristotle and Thomas Aquinas. It's purpose is to identify the elements that could advocate on contrary for the acceptance of a more profound relationship between these two philosophers. Consequently, even if the author is conscious of the fact that the relationship between Thomas Aquinas and Aristotle is not so simple and univocal as per it was suggested by the traditionalists, he argues that this relationship is not based on any pure equivocality and proposes an analogical interpretation of the history of the analogy of being.
